I like Lydia but not as much as I like Laetitia (although that name has been ruined a bit by variations on spelling)

Violet - I also prefer Viola but like it

Eliza - my least favourite but then I'm not keen on shortened names on their own, so I'd use Elizabeth and open up the options on nns.

GlitzAndGigglesx · 15/06/2015 07:15

Lydia or Eliza

HettyB · 15/06/2015 07:32

First choice Eliza, second choice Violet (though I always think it sounds like violent).

Really don't like Lydia, sorry!

BadHenry · 15/06/2015 07:40

Eliza

molly84 · 15/06/2015 07:48

Love Lydia. Beautiful name.

BarryGoosey · 15/06/2015 22:32

Lydia Violet is beautiful!

hawkmcqueen · 15/06/2015 22:35

Eliza is my favourite, edgy and traditional at the same time. It might be too samey with Amelia though? Lydia is my second choice with Violet a distant third.

wizzler · 15/06/2015 22:43

Eliza..

Definitely Eliza... good luck!

Poffleski · 15/06/2015 22:45

Lydia Violet.

Vetoed by DH, go for it OP

BeautifulStars93 · 26/06/2015 10:27

I also like Lydia but dh doesnt. sorry im not much help lol xx

clearasmud · 26/06/2015 10:33

Love Eliza, Violet as a second. Don't like Lydia at all (sorry).

BubGal13 · 26/06/2015 12:26

Violet. By far.

ThreeLeggedHaggis · 26/06/2015 12:28

Lydia or Eliza. I don't like Violet.

Amelia is a beautiful name by the way!

steppemum · 26/06/2015 12:29

Violet Eliza sounds very close to Violet Elizabeth form Just William, but maybe I am too old!

I love the name Lydia, pretty unusual and underused.

Least keen on Violet. I can imagine Lydia and Eliza on small child and high court judge, less so Violet

BlueKarou · 26/06/2015 13:49

I like Violet best. Eliza second, Lydia third.

SkodaLabia · 26/06/2015 13:50

Eliza, definitely.

Thanks

Lydia makes me think of Chlamydia, if that helps.

Congrats, OP! Flowers

Lady84 · 26/06/2015 19:29

Congrsts! I think they are both lovely names and neither that popular, you can't really go wrong.

TheRachel · 26/06/2015 19:41

Eliza

TheRachel · 26/06/2015 19:42

Although maybe a bit if a moth flu with Amelia?
